With this package you can read INP-files, manipulate them and write new ones. You can run swmm within the python api. And you can read the RPT- and OUT-files as a pandas DataFrame for further analysis.

This package is based on the command line SWMM syntax. (see Appendix D in the SWMM User Manual 5.1)

Install the package:

pip install swmm-api

Alternative packages

R-language:

python:

  • swmmio / docs / pypi / github /
  • GisToSWMM5 / github / converting gis data to swmm model (also possible with swmm_api: swmm_api.input_file.macro_snippets.gis_standard_import and swmm_api.input_file.macro_snippets.gis_export)
  • swmmtoolbox / github / Thanks to Tim Cera for this package! I used his package to understand the .out-files but completely rewrote the reading process in this package.
  • swmmnetwork / github / create graph network from swmm model (see swmm_api.input_file.macros.inp_to_graph)
  • SWMMOutputAPI / github / read the output file (see swmm_api.output_file.out)

Read, manipulate and write the INP-File

Read the INP-File

from swmm_api.input_file.section_labels import TIMESERIES
from swmm_api import read_inp_file

inp = read_inp_file('inputfile.inp')  # type: swmm_api.SwmmInput

sec_timeseries = inp[TIMESERIES]  # type: swmm_api.input_file.helpers.InpSection
ts = inp[TIMESERIES]['regenseries'].frame  # type: pandas.Series

Manipulate the INP-File

from swmm_api import read_inp_file, SwmmInput
from swmm_api.input_file.section_labels import JUNCTIONS

inp = read_inp_file('inputfile.inp')  # type: swmm_api.SwmmInput
# or 
inp = SwmmInput.read_file('inputfile.inp')

inp[JUNCTIONS]['J01'].Elevation = 210

Write the manipulated INP-File

inp.write_file('new_inputfile.inp')

see examples/inp_file_reader.ipynb

see examples/inp_file_structure.ipynb

see examples/inp_file_macros.ipynb

Run SWMM

from swmm_api import swmm5_run
swmm5_run('new_inputfile.inp')

Read the OUT-File

from swmm_api import read_out_file
out = read_out_file('new_inputfile.out')   # type: swmm_api.SwmmOut
df = out.to_frame()  # type: pandas.DataFrame

see examples/out_file_reader.ipynb

Read the RPT-File

from swmm_api import read_rpt_file
rpt = read_rpt_file('new_inputfile.rpt')  # type: swmm_api.SwmmReport
node_flooding_summary = rpt.node_flooding_summary  # type: pandas.DataFrame

see examples/rpt_file_reader.ipynb

GIS interactions

geopandas and its requirements (Shapely, pyproj, Rtree) must be installed! (not that easy on Windows)

from swmm_api import SwmmInput
from swmm_api.input_file.sections.map_geodata import geo_section_converter
from swmm_api.input_file.macros.gis import write_geo_package, gpkg_to_swmm

inp = SwmmInput.read_file('inputfile.inp', custom_converter=geo_section_converter)

coords = inp.COORDINATES.geo_series  # type: geoandas.GeoSeries with points for all nodes
vertices = inp.VERTICES.geo_series  # type: geoandas.GeoSeries with lines for all links
polygons = inp.POLYGONS.geo_series  # type: geoandas.GeoSeries with polygons for all subcatchments

# create geopackage of all objects in inp file
write_geo_package(inp, gpkg_fn='geopackage.gpkg', driver='GPKG', label_sep='.', crs="EPSG:32633")

# read above written geopackage and convert it to inp-data
inp_new = gpkg_to_swmm('geopackage.gpkg', label_sep='.')
inp_new.write_file('new_inputfile.inp')
